Hey Fernando,
Thanks for the report. Apparently there are some longstanding vis-a-vis
extension handling issues with the tk dialog asksaveasfilename that we use.
Eg,
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-June/150051.html
I just applied a possible fix which seems to work in my tests -- the fix and
comments are inlined below in case anyone more knowledgeable than tkagg than
I has some feedback::
# adding a default extension seems to break the
# asksaveasfilename dialog when you choose various save types
# from the dropdown. Passing in the empty string seems to
# work - JDH
#defaultextension = self.canvas.get_default_filetype()
defaultextension = ''
fname = asksaveasfilename(
master=self.window,
title='Save the figure',
filetypes = tk_filetypes,
defaultextension = defaultextension
)
svn up and give this a test drive under a few different save/extension
scenarios
JDH
